How it started ... How it's going Congrats @drewosophy, @alistairthoms and @LottieLab_ on the raise. Been incredible to see the journey since you met on @join_ef last year eu-startups.com/2022/04/london…
10 things about Venture Capital, team-building, startups and execution I wish I knew before leaving my job to start a VC-backed company. No regrets, just learnings. All credit goes to @Rob_Bishop for being a patient teacher.
Some personal news: As part of @join_ef, I took my first step towards building my own health tech startup today. It's been a wild ride since graduating in 2019. Tune in as I document what is sure to be the most exciting leg of the journey thus far! bit.ly/36xmKjW
Really enjoyed chatting to @matthewclifford about my startup journey so far, what we’re doing at LottieLab. “We just want to add more fire to a format (lottie) and community that’s already exploding by democratising how everyone works with it”.
